On Tuesday evening, at the Euganeo Stadium in Padua, the first stage (which followed the zero date in Bibione on June 17th) of the “Marco negli Stadi” took place, the tour with which Marco Mengoni – fresh winner of Silver Ribbon for Best Original Song with love distant loveText from Riccardo Sinigallia and recent music Sergio Endrigo – celebrates the end of the record trilogy Object and a year full of satisfactions, from the second victory at the Sanremo Festival with “Two Lives” to international success thanks to the noble fourth place at the Eurovision Song Contest in Liverpool.

Forbidden… how come love has to be

Well, when Marco presented Proibito, a tender and poetic piece that, through images of life, tells a love story between two men, one of whom is already in a relationship, stressed, as he always wants to do, that any form of feeling must be free, just like that how the search for one’s happiness and one’s place in the world must be free.

But also drawing attention to the newspaper, he also wanted to express his outrage at the city’s prosecutor’s decision to challenge the birth certificates of 33 children who have been registered as children of two mothers since 2017, effectively depriving them of rights and protections as well were given the serenity they deserve. Here his words.

Social media and the murky gurgling of violent ignorance

The audience of more than 40,000, who filled the stadium in all seating arrangements, greeted the artist’s words with a thunderous ovation, but the reaction of the social world was exceptionally different.

As of yesterday morning, to tour, albeit distracted, by the comments on the articles reporting the artist’s words is to embark on a descent into the underworld that is by no means as rewarding or as lofty as that from Dante: indeed.

What we witness is a decomposed chatter that mixes or governs crass homophobia, reactionary moralism, biblical-tinged religious anathemas, flimsy homologation of the biological mechanisms of procreation with the affective dynamics of parenthood, contemptuous self-reliance, ungrammatical or linguistically decorated obedience to often invented laws on site to indulge his own imposing and punitive vision. Lots of verbal abuse and an apparent lack of empathy.

And then, inevitably, a classic: “Why don’t you think about singing?” That ridiculous, irritating, and meaningless phrase, always used to belittle the value of a position by alluding to the supposed “frivolity” of a professional world, which unfortunately is still recognized as an integral part of the country’s culture.

A political climate that pours oil on the fire

Much can be said about the vision that those who govern today have the rights of what is commonly defined as “minorities”, from women to immigrants to those who are part of the LGBTQIA+ community.

It could be said that those who, for years, have proudly asserted their affinity, if not allegiance, to what is in many ways a very black history, attack again and again, subtly hidden or with their heads bowed like a … Unhesitatingly attack the medieval battering ram To use people who are as fragile as they are vulnerable on all fronts in this society, subjected daily to abuses and insults that make even maintaining their dignity complex and tedious.

As a paradigmatic example of systemic institutional misery, one might recall the thunderous applause that greeted the Senate rejection of the Zan Act two years ago, a bill that, while largely perfectible, would have expanded protections and ensured a fairer justice against crime Children of hate, prejudice and discrimination.

One could say that in recent times we are witnessing, almost daily, a progressive and inexorable erosion, albeit often difficult to detect, also on the basis of information, to use a very … euphemistic euphemism, little related to critical independence prone to power. of societal gains of freedom and equality achieved with pain, effort and extraordinary courage.

A lot could be said, and with a feeling of uncontrollable and unprofessional anger. However, this is neither the place nor the purpose of this discussion.

Man as a political identity-forming element

The intention of this study is to underline the importance of the idea that a thought of fundamental empathy, as expressed by Marco Mengoni on the Padua stage, should be perceived as a dangerous call to arms addressed to those responsible ungodly revolutionaries with corrupt souls for plunging the world into an abyss of depravity and vice (sic!).

In summary, quite a few believe that believing that a person:

– has the right to be free and to love, because that is what makes us unique;

– has the right to dress as she wishes, to manage her private life and body as she wishes, and to demand that she be provided with the appropriate tools to attain the highest levels in her professional field achieve without this becoming a mutually exclusive claim of respect for the decision to raise a family;

– has the right not to want to found a family in vain and not to see this diminishing its value or the purpose of its existence;

– has the right to consider himself or herself fully capable of giving love and caring for a child, regardless of sexual orientation;

– has the right to seek in another country a future of security and dignity for herself and the people she loves, in a manner that does not involve reduction to conditions unrelated to the very definition of “ person” have to do …

…that belief in these rights, regardless of sex, gender identity, geographic origin, social status, sexual orientation or religious belief, must be vigorously opposed collectively, for the plain and simple, natural feeling of being part of a single humanity , which takes into account all differences and distinctions, respect for each of them represents the programmatic manifesto of a precise political ideology.

And that it is therefore legitimate to contrast this vision with a diametrically opposed vision that considers it ethical to legislate and judge identity, feelings, family ties, the body, the end of life and the chances of life granted on the basis of colour of leather, ruthlessly defiles the dignity of others without batting an eyelid in the name of religious and moral principles, wielded as instruments of attack, forged and folded according to the exigencies of the situation.

And do I listen to it?

Let me be clear: no one really believes that a civil society can be built as a utopia governed solely by emotion and freedom, nor does it intend to deny the inviolable right to express personal and free visions and opinions to ethically sensitive ones to express issues.

However, it is just as inevitable to hope that each opinion has matured through concrete and well-founded, critical and profound reflection, and that belly-Manichaeism, which in the blink of an eye becomes hate sic et simpliciter, is replaced by a sincere willingness to listen and an equally sincere desire after discussion.

Yes, I’m listening: it would be enough to simply ask any woman, immigrant, LGBTQIA+ person, girl, boy, girl or boy who are children of homosexual couples who is affected by a terminal illness . what you need for your status as a human being to be fully recognized, with all that that status entails, both in terms of rights and obligations. And be genuinely interested in understanding, to then reason from here, legislate, regulate and balance. The only compass is respect for the dignity of each individual.

Is Let’s Stay Human political?

And let’s return to the beginning of this discussion. “Marco Mengoni has become a politician, he’s got his head,” we read yesterday among the many delusions in society. And again: “We go to his concerts to hear songs, not pimps conditioned by the fashion of the moment.” “Too exhibitionist, I think I don’t follow him anymore.” And another one that doesn’t should be reported because it is less significant and stronger than a gust of wind.

I believe in everyone’s responsibilities and equal rights for all.
I believe in those who fight for the rights of others.
I believe in the power of words, in their weight, in their beauty.
I believe in those who lost their lives to keep their words.
I believe in family, in the ones you come home from hurt, to whom you seek comfort, in those who don’t judge you,
Who hugs you when you’re sad, who feeds you when you’re hungry, who covers you when you’re cold.
I think that’s the only possible definition of family

Marco said that a few years ago. And to understand how much nothing has changed, we recommend that you listen to “The Damned of the Earth” from the last album in particular matter (prism)a very intense piece that, in the rhythm itself, marks humanity’s arduous step towards a more just world.

Strengthened by an artistic history of absolute prestige and robustness and by an extraordinarily rare talent, Mengoni joins the ranks of his peers from all walks of entertainment who, in recent months, have spawned pike jumps, acrobatics and trains of thought It would be convenient and practical been if the Cirque du Soleil had spread wet saliva carpets at the feet of the powerful on duty in search or confirmation of their place in the sun.

But Marco, now more mature and aware of the person and communicator he wants to be, has decided to turn his privileged position into a giant telescope on the world and a microphone with which to capture even the world’s most subtle whispers. He has decided to show himself with even greater determination, to scream, to bring his face, his body, his soul, his music, his words inside, leaving the listener, as usual, but in an “amplified” version, something as precious as a common emotion: a spark of reflection.

Not as a dangerous communist subversive selling himself to the gender (yes, here’s another of the incoherent delusions one reads here and there). But as a citizen who lives and votes, as an artist who sings, builds, tells stories and talks about himself, he influences, inspires and inspires. As a human being among human beings, he remained proud – and wanted to remain so.

Aren’t you satisfied with “these are just songs”? Good OK. Does inciting humanity through active practice of empathy mean politics and does it evoke outrage and hate reactions? Well, very good, very good: what better incentive to do it all with head held high, with constructive anger, with passion and determination? Even those very far removed from institutional partisanship.

The hope, therefore, is that noble and clear viewpoints such as his will prompt a pang of conscience among those living in the limelight and beyond who, through cowardice, selfishness, calculation or ignorance, have forgotten what, like Fabrizio De André, an artist and man who never tired of describing the pain and beauty of the last said, “Even if you think you’re acquitted, you’re still involved.”

Caleb Dingle covered up his son Nicky as police try to uncover the truth about his mysterious attack.

A violent showdown ensued between the two on Thursday night after Caleb (Will Ash), covered in blood and injured, was discharged from the hospital.

Nicky (Lewis Cope) said he pushed his father off the cliff and left him to die because he was “sick of the lies and the games”.

He told his father he would confess his crime to the police and was ready to go to jail.

However, when two officers knocked on the door, Caleb dropped the investigation, blaming a deer for his fall.

‘It was a deer!’: Caleb covered up his son Nicky as police tried to uncover the truth about his mysterious attack

Dispute: The two erupted in a furious showdown on Thursday night after Caleb (Will Ash), covered in blood and injured, was discharged from the hospital himself

He told officers, “It wasn’t Mackenzie.” I looked around, it must have been a deer or something. “I think I just lost my footing.”

Nicky, who attacked Caleb after confessing his sexuality to his fiancee Gabby, had told him during the heated argument, “You destroyed me.” I’ve followed Gabby’s life and lost Ally.

“I’ll gladly tell the truth, part of me wishes you’d never woken up.” “The blackmail, the games, I’m done dad, we’re done.”

Nicky was engaged to Gabby Thomas when his father planned to take over Home Farm to avoid facing financial ruin – but he was secretly in a relationship with a man named Ally.

Afterwards, police told suspect Mackenzie he was free but added: “We’re not stupid either, we know there’s more to it.”

Fans who watched the show took to Twitter in disbelief at the cover-up.

One wrote: “Emmerdale is going downhill fast.” Caleb gets pushed by a frigging DEER and Belle listens to her music on headphones. Captivating storylines.’

Another added, “So after all this Caleb is saying it was a deer that pushed him or that he slipped!?” How gullible are these cops?

A third viewer typed, “How did Caleb move in so quickly when he was in the hospital after all?” Is that a new sofa? Thought he had no money.’

“It was a deer #Emmerdale Cue Swirling and the Hotten Air Force rushed out to arrest Bambi,” wrote another.

Excuses: He told officers, “It wasn’t Mackenzie.” I looked around, it must have been a deer or something. I think I just lost my footing.

Assaulted: Caleb was in a coma in the hospital after Nicky pushed him off a cliff and was near death

Surprised: Fans who watched the show took to Twitter in disbelief at the cover-up

Tough: Caleb was furious with his son Nicky after he was revealed to be his attacker, waking up in hospital recalling everything on Wednesday night in Emmerdale

Ouch: Caleb was in a coma after being thrown off a cliff and left for dead as the village tried to uncover the villain – but Nicky admitted it on Tuesday

Caleb was in a coma after being thrown off a cliff and left for dead as the village tried to uncover the villain – but Nicky admitted it on Tuesday as he lay on the bed with his unconscious father.

In recent episodes, the whole village turned against Caleb when he confronted his family in a western-style scene at the Woolpack.

In a great crime thriller, Cain Dingle (Jeff Hordley), Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb), Leyla Harding (Roxy Shahidi) and Will Taylor (Dean Andrews) were all potential suspects and the police worked hard to uncover the villain.

But as soon as Caleb got off the ventilator, he wanted Nicky to know that he knew it was him, having recalled the incident.

When he woke up he said, “It’s a shock that someone hated me so much they killed me!”

Nicky (Lewis Cope) then tried to leave the hospital after being there all night when Caleb said firmly, “No, sit down, there are things we need to talk about.”

“You can stop pretending you care.” I remember exactly what happened and it was you who made me do it. You could face a charge of attempted murder.’

“I suppose you thought you could get away with it! You left me there to die!’

He replied, “I’m guilty, but you’re not really guilty, are you?” “You wouldn’t tell the police anything about me, would you?”

A flashback then played to the forest scene when Caleb fell while Nicky watched his body fall to the ground.

Nicky had tried to blame Mackenzie Boyd (Lawrence Robb) but Caleb saw through him.

In contrast to several artists whose contracts were terminated and joined TV Globo’s list of cuts, the actress is Larissa Manola chose to take the initiative on a voluntary basis and not prolong his committed relationship with the channel for another period.

Directly from New York, USA, where he is involved in the shooting of the film “Betrayal Between Friends”Larissa confirmed the decision and explained that she wanted to remain free for projects that could emerge both in cinemas and in streaming.

Larissa Manoela wasn’t the only one who denied Globo exclusivity

Similar to the actress, similar situations are already part of the history of the station. Last year, for example, comedian Rafael Portugal announced his departure from the Big Brother Brasil team, more specifically the CAT BBB team currently managed by Dani Calabresa, after TV Globo demanded an exclusive deal.

Marjo will not come back The voice next winter for the 10th season of the popular music competition.

• Also read: Talents wanted: “La Voix” will be coming into its tenth season next winter

On deliberation night, she spent Tuesday through Wednesday contemplating the proposal made to her to resume the red chair for a second straight year, but after careful consideration eventually declined the offer.

“When I got up in the morning, I said to myself, ‘No, I’m not!'” she told the QMI Agency on Thursday afternoon, on the sidelines of rehearsals for the big Quebec National Day show in Montreal, where she will be performing this Saturday at the Maisonneuve Park participates.

The 69-year-old singer-songwriter stressed that she doesn’t want to block her schedule for several months, as the TVA program dictates, either starting next fall for the first recordings or during the winter, especially for live broadcasts.

“I’m reserving 2024 to do something different on a personal level and professionally, but ultimately not for La Voix,” she added, indicating that she’ll be multiplying the shows through next December.

“It is I, Marjolaine Morin, who also decides not to tour in 2024. I’ll do things I enjoy, not too far, I’ll work anyway, but much less to access the things that are lying around. I’ve said so much about things I don’t even have the time to deal with, it doesn’t make sense.

She still thought she was going to do La Voix until the last minute. “I would have liked that, but I can’t separate myself into two parts. I have to make a choice and I didn’t even hesitate. We artists need to listen to each other because we are ready to say yes to anything.

She assures that this is not a lack of interest in the program produced by Productions Déferlantes in collaboration with Quebecor Content. Remember, TVA confirmed the return of La Voix on Tuesday, which is exceptionally late for this type of big production.

A “beautiful personal challenge”

The interpreter of the successes Chats sauvage, Provocante and S’il faut “loved” taking on this “beautiful personal challenge”, which, as she points out, requires a lot of time and energy, given that the audience is only the “fifth” of all the works looks done by the coaches on TV, she stressed.

“I keep from all this the human experience of being with the contestants, guiding them, sometimes comforting them,” said Marjo, who was very expressive on the set of La Voix last winter.

Marjo enjoyed meeting people of all ages and backgrounds. She has stayed in touch with her team’s finalist, Christopher Therrien, whom she will invite to the stage at Tracadie en fête in New Brunswick on July 22nd.

Who will take Marjo’s place?

Could France D’Amour, who replaced Marjo on short notice after contracting COVID-19 during live broadcasts last winter, be tempted to become a coach in the next version?

The Productions Déferlantes team is said to be in negotiations with the next occupants of the red armchairs and even with presenter Charles Lafortune, who has been with the show since the first season in 2013.
